Our favourite cold island over a magma hotspot, wonderful Iceland.
If you look closely you'll see the Gullfoss waterfalls, a brilliant aurora due to a Coronal Mass Ejection and M1-class solar flare.
If you look really close, you'll find Comet PANSTARRS as a tiny light just above the horizon toward the left of the photograph.

This was taken by Stephane Vetter who has a fantastic website of his images at http://www.nuitsacrees.fr and they are just magic. Don't visit if you're in a hurry though, it takes time to enjoy the beauty.

Another stunning image. Oooh and aaah and wow. Thank you so much. I have bookmarked that site and plan to treat myself tomorrow or the next day.
I hope you are starting to feel a little better.
Is the waterfall that frozen looking drop to the left of the image? And the solar flare that bright yellow spot on the edge of the green?
It's a fabulous image.
Still feeling mouldy, EC, but I'm hoping to come good soon. I just can't get my mind to concentrate on my list of interesting things to blog about.
River, if we ever see a solar flare, we're dead, we just get the effects. I blame solar flares on my connection dropping out. I had to look twice at the waterfall to really pick it out.
